Nice to meet you!

I’m a NYC actor, writer, and teaching associate with my BFA in Acting from Boston University. I also studied classical acting at the London Academy of Musical and Dramatic Arts. However, one thing that characterizes my work is an ability to work in many different mediums; I have professionally performed Shakespeare, contemporary works, musical theatre, and dramatic and comedic on-screen works.

In early 2023, I was privileged to work with Obie-Award winners Dustin Wills and Hansol Jung on their adaption of Romeo and Juliet, which premiered off-Broadway; it was produced by the National Asian American Theatre Company as a part of the “Play On Shakespeare” initiative. Most recently, I acted in Eisa Davis’ Pulitzer finalist play Bulrusher, which played at McCarter Theatre and Berkeley Repertory Theatre. I am beyond grateful to be surrounded by artists who have inspired me with their deep passion and urgency, and have seamlessly integrated their personal identity with the storytelling needs of the moment.

TV credits include roles in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin (HBO), Uncoupled (Netflix), and FBI (CBS), and upcoming, a role in season 4 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan (Lionsgate/Starz), to be released late 2024. Other theatrical credits include Amputees (Dev Nguyen), Red Light Winter (Davis), Shakespeare Unplugged (Bertram/Sebastian), Twelfth Night (Orsino), Macbeth (Malcolm), and As You Like It (Orlando).

My biggest interests in no particular order include baseball, writing, Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett, lifting, Haruki Murakami, Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert, and a big cup of coffee, black.

Bulrusher

By Eisa Davis, directed by Nicole A. Watson.

“Filled with passion and peppered with live music and gentle humor, this Pulitzer Prize finalist transports us to the predominantly white town of Boonville, nestled in the majestic Redwoods of 1955 California. Orphaned as an infant and possessing the mystical gift of clairvoyance, Bulrusher feels her small-town world closing in around her, until a mysterious Black girl from Alabama arrives harboring a secret, awakening new discoveries and uncovering old truths.

Hailed as “captivating and lushly poetic” (LA Times), Bulrusher garnered wider attention in 2020 when it was produced as part of the popular digital series Bard at the Gate. Launched by the Tony-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, and now curated by Ms. Vogel and director Nicole A. Watson in association with McCarter, the series continues to provide a platform for overlooked and underappreciated new American plays.”

Boy. September 13— October 7, 2023 @ McCarter Theatre, October 27- December 3, 2023 @ Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

Romeo & Juliet

Adapted by Hansol Jung, directed by Dustin Wills.

“Hansol (Jung)’s adaptation immediately posits the circumstance of reluctant quarrel. Members of the rival houses know they are rivals, know that they’re supposed to behave as rivals do, but don’t really want to fight. Comedy ensues as an accidental brawl erupts… The duality between what is known versus what is felt, between civility and animal instinct drives the comic engine in the play until Mercutio’s death, when the ancient grudge reasserts itself and demands hewing to the rules and regulations that enforce the rivalry, resulting in the tragic loss of the lovers’ lives…

NAATCO has always maintained that new insights about old plays can come from new faces. Asian Americans have always had limited access to working on European classics unless we “Asianize” them. In partnership with Two River Theater, and with the generous support of Play On Shakespeare, an all-Asian American cast presents an age-old story from new perspectives, with heartfelt glee and earnest soul.”

—Mia Katigbak

Paris/Tybalt. April 8 – 30, 2023 @ Two River Theatre, May 9 – June 3, 2023 @ Lynn F. Angelson Theater.

FBI

CBS: Season 5 Episode 10, A Second Life.

Brett Porter— Guest Star. Released Jan 3, 2023.

Shakespeare Unplugged

Composed and Music Direction by Scotty Arnold Produced by Brittany Proia & Hannah Karp

Scotty Arnold’s musical adaptations of Shakespeare's All’s Well That Ends Well and Twelfth Night. In All’s Well That Ends Well, low-born Helen pursues the love of high-born Bertram. How far is Helen willing to go to get what she wants? Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola and Sebastian, twins who are separated in a shipwreck. How will these two survive on their own in a strange land, will they find their way back to each other, and might they find love of another kind along the way? Arnold, a musical theater writer and five-time Powerhouse alum, dusts off these classic plays and boils them down to their essence, enlivening them with contemporary songs and music.

Role of Bertram/Sebastian. July 29-31st @ Powerhouse Theater via the Hudson Valley Performing Arts Laboratory. For tickets, click here.

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

"Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — finds themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago, as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-rage, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars."

Recurring character. Released July 28th, 2022 via HBO Max.

Red Light Winter

by Adam Rapp, produced by The Itch

“Matt and Davis are burgeoning, literary intellectuals off on a wild, dreamlike romp around Amsterdam. Well, at least Davis is. Matt is suicidal and ruining Davis’s trip. So Davis hires Christina, a (definitely) gorgeous, (presumably) French prostitute to cheer up his friend. After their encounter, Matt falls hard for Christina, who has in turn fallen hard for Davis. Red Light Winter is an intimate, delicate window into the way delusions shape our truth and what we can glean from these ‘slightly refracted parallel realities.’

July 7-10 @TheaterlabNYC.

Noise: a New Musical

“When Dr. Kenton began conducting a study on a college campus, she thought she was on the brink of a biomedical breakthrough. Today, she appears before a jury. Elsewhere, an unlikely friendship between two college students takes a bitter turn. As these stories unfold and begin to echo one another, lines blur between the past as we remember it, and the future as we fear it. NOISE is a contemporary musical about the human instinct to assign reason to the unpredictable, and the ways we can be blinded by our ghosts.”
